The Case of the Mysterious Turd
After this morning’s incident, you can only imagine my surprise when, at the store paying for a few small items, I reached into my purse for my wallet and found a turd. “Is that what I think it is?” I asked Lori. “Oh my God.” The lady at the cash register gave us funny looks [...]

In Indiana the county fair is still a summer highlight for many residents. As teenagers, news of who competes and wins the county beauty pageant still permeates the halls of county high schools.

I should have saved this for Friday cat blogging but needed immediate witness. Doug manages to do this at least twice a week. I have no idea how he gets the toilet paper considering it sits on a high shelf behind a door. He may have opposable thumbs.

I got into NYU Law!! NYU has been my dream lawschool since my freshman year as an NYU undergrad, when I used to walk by the main law school building every day and stare longingly at it. I’m genuinely surprised that I got in — and very excited. I haven’t made any sort of official [...]

You know it’s a bad day when Dan Savage is totally and completely wrong. A young woman writes in: Q. My boyfriend and I are 18, and we’re in love. We’ve been together for almost four years. He recently decided that he is against abortion, to the point where he won’t have sex with me [...]

I have been away from the internet for a few days, and when I opened my gmail today I was shocked to find a semi-frantic email from my friend Julie about Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O’Connor’s resignation.

Jim of Feminist Men emailed me a few questions about my views of male feminists, which I found to be very interesting. He’s looking for even more viewpoints, so if you have some spare time, answer away: 1. What can men do to end sexism? 2. Do men have a place in the feminist movement? [...]
